Just saying things does not make them so. You could make a similar list for Luol Deng, who I would also consider to be in the Hall of Very Good. He is fourth all-time in scoring behind three great scorers. You could not make a list that is comparable for Hinrich or Taj Gibson (the latter is laughable - Gibson is basically the same age as Noah).
I looked it up. You can.
Hinrich in all-time rankings:
Games: 3rd
Minutes played: 4th
Field Goals: 9th
3 Point Field Goals: 1st
Assists: 3rd
Steals: 3rd
Points: 8th
Defensive win shares: 7th
Win Share: 10th
And perhaps the best stat:
Value over replacement player: 8th
I only mentioned Gibson because he is starting to show up some of those lists too.
He shows up on some of the aggregate stats due to longevity, but I'd also put Hinrich in the Hall of Very Good, so I don't really see that as a knock. Beyond that, Noah is a much more unique player who had a much bigger impact on the game in his prime, which shows with his DPOY award and being 5th in MVP voting (and basically running point-center in the 2013 playoffs when Rose was hurt).
Gibson doesn't show up on many other than the lists of averages.
